Reviews

  • LG 50PG79ED

    The LG 50PG79ED offers an excellent picture for the price and adds a useful, though at times idiosyncratic, digital recorder with 160GB of space.

  • Sony Vaio VGN-TT15GN

    If you have the money, you shouldn't hesitate to buy the TT, in any of its guises. It looks phenomenal, is comfortable to use and is exceptionally portable.

  • ASUS EeePC 1000H

    The Eee PC 1000 is a fabulous machine. It precariously straddles the line between netbook and ultraportable, but it's well equipped, well designed and great for those who need a laptop on the move.

  • MSI Wind

    This is one of the best mini laptops so far — it's comfortable to use, has a good display and it's affordable.

  • Logitech G15 (Revision 2)

    Logitech's revised version of its already distinctive G15 gaming keyboard adds polish and trims some of the fat.

  • Asus EN9800GX2

    Nvidia's new flagship 3D card delivers almost all the performance we expect for its price. We wouldn't blame Crysis fans for waiting to see what's in store later this year.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home Edition

    Avast Antivirus 4.7 Home edition works fairly well for a free antivirus protection.

  • Steam report card: 2009

    One year on, things have gotten worse on Steam. While there's more publishers, there's even more discrepancies in pricing and availability between the US and Australia.

  • The economy of piracy: How game publishers are killing the PC

    For as long as I can remember, the media has talked about the death of the PC as a gaming platform. The latest hot console comes out with comparable graphics, and the doomsayers dust off their placards and start chanting.
